    Disney slowly losing some of what made it special.

    It's not all about you Eliza ;-) People actually live in other countries and travel to Disney Parks abroad quite frequently. I'm comparing the costs of the park admission, souvinereres, food & beverage to the quality received. WDW ranks the lowest with the highest costs to the lowest quality...

    Disney slowly losing some of what made it special.

    Disney World is the Walmart location of their 6 sites. It's their money maker. There is a lot less IP takeover, crap souvenir stores and alcoholic themed beverages elsewhere. WDW listens to survey results to decide what to build next, not the creatives or Imagineers. Short term gains will drive...

    Club 33 Members?

    http://blogs.ocweekly.com/navelgazing/2015/06/disneyland_club_33_lawsuit_member.php Interesting indeed! Selling membership for profit is obviously a no no.

    Who wants to crowdfund a membership that we can all share? :-)

    Club 33 Members?

    Hi There! It's been years since I've engaged on the WDWmagic forums. It feels surreal to be posting again honestly. This is the place where I first found an outlet for my Disney passion (I was a kid in middle school back when WDW magic opened). Since then I've continued to grow my passion...

    Morimoto Asia coming to 'The Landing' district of Disney Springs in 2015

    Yes, but will we still have a revolving floor?

    Very Interesting Info about Partners Statue

    Well, I can't be sure about the reasoning behind Partners, but I do know for a fact the reason Cast Members point with two fingers. It's not because pointing with one finger is considered rude in some cultures as you might expect. With attractions like COP and the offensively introverted...

    COP refurb

    COP needs to be restored back to the way is was originally presented. To evenly distribute the scenes with the eras leading up to present-day, you would have to completely re-build all of the scenes. I wouldn't want to see any of the first 4 scenes negated just to make the attraction more...

    Aqueduct/Water Bridge to Contemporary and MK

    Something that has bothered me for years is the lack of attention given to the aqueduct roadway tunnel (connecting Bay Lake and 7 Seas). Compare this tunnel to the one between the Boardwalk and Beach Club. It's a night and day comparison. I know there are bigger issues at the parks, but...

    minor Laugh Floor info

    Saw it yesterday. It has potential. As soon as the cast become comfortable in thier roles, I think we will take to it better than Turtle Talk. In other news, I like ice cream!

    Say "NO!" to Pixie Dust pins!

    It will be the difference between those who give away their extra FastPasses to others and those who just choose to throw them away. I think all people generally enjoy the act of gift giving. It makes the giver feel good, and it makes the receiver feel good (all at Disney's expense, thanks to...

    Say "NO!" to Pixie Dust pins!

    This sounds like an interesting strategy to promote polite Guest behavior in the parks. This is something WDW needs. Guests are getting pushier, more inconsiderate, and less grateful each year. If this program can increase good guest behavior, then I'm all for it.

    Sorry for the delay. These are taken right as soon as the theatre opened for seating.

    This is true from more than one source that I've seen.

    New backdrop at Fantasmic! today

    Unfortunately I have today off, otherwise I could have said hi. I too still love the show, especially the grand finale (I hate it when ppl leave early, usually when the steamboat comes out). I will try to snap a picture for you all tomorrow when I visit the park as a guest.

    New backdrop at Fantasmic! today

    It was a looooong time ago when I found the wdwmagic webiste, back when it was all a very different format from what it is now and with a different url (.uk). Although I don't post so much anymore as you can see by my count, I pretty much have been checking your updates daily since I found your...

    New backdrop at Fantasmic! today

    I've been visiting Fantasmic! quite a bit lately and noticed today that a new backdrop has replaced the old army netting that borders the mountain. The new façade is mostly a curtain painted to look like a whimsical forest. We were joking that it looked like something out of the Smurfs, maybe...

    Location: Tower. CM: mulitple

    Joshua was my trainer just a week ago for Tower. I can't say enough good things about the guy. He knows the building better than I know my own apartment. The first day of training he took me on the grand tour where I got to go places in the Tower where some would only dream of going. Like...

    Location: Boma (dinner), CM: Kea

    Yes, Kea was my waitress about 2 weeks ago. After she found out we were CM's she got the chef's attention, his name was TJ or something similar, and he cooked us up this rib and shrimp BBQ platter along with his specialty, the deep fried oreos, that have become so famous. They lookout for...
